Green herring and fish roe with mashed potatoes

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 5 large potatoes, floury
• ¼ liter of milk
• salt and pepper
• nutmeg
• 8 fish(s) (herring), green
• salt and pepper
• Flour
• oil
• 2 large onions, peeled and cut into rings
• 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Working time approx. 40 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 10 minutes

Peel and quarter the potatoes, then boil in salted water until they begin to fall apart. Drain the water, heat the milk, add it to the potatoes, and mash with a masher until a light mash forms. Season with nutmeg and pepper. Clean and gut the herring, removing the bones. Don’t discard the roe and milk; wash them as well. Season the herring, roe, and milk, and coat them in flour. Fry in a pan with boiling oil until crispy. Meanwhile, in a second pan, brown the onion rings with melted butter. Garnish the mashed potatoes with the toasted onion rings, spreading the melted butter over the mashed potatoes, and serve with the fish. I highly recommend raw sauerkraut as a vegetable side dish.
